16 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method in claim 1 , wherein the first and second load monitoring areas are cells, location areas, routing areas, or service areas.

3

3. The method in claim 1 , wherein the first mobile communications network employs a first radio access technology and the second mobile communications network employs a second different radio access technology.

4

4. The method in claim 1 , wherein the first mobile communications network is a second generation based network and the second mobile communications network is a third generation based network.

5

5. The method in claim 1 , wherein the adjustment instruction is based on an exchange of load information between a first radio access network node in the first mobile communications network and a second radio access network node in the second mobile communications network.

6

6. The method in claim 1 , wherein the adjustment instruction is based on load information from a core network node or a central server.

7

7. The method in claim 1 , further comprising: controlling a rate of change at which the broadcast message is updated.

8

8. The method in claim 1 , wherein the mobile stations are in one of the following states: an idle state, a ready state, a standby state, a CELL_FACH state, a CELL_PCH state, and a URA_PCH state.

10

10. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the first and second load monitoring areas are cells, location areas, routing areas, or service areas.

11

11. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the first load monitoring area is associated with a first mobile communications network that offers a first set of services and the second load monitoring area is associated with a second mobile communications network that offers a second set of services.

12

12. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the first mobile communications network employs a first radio access technology and the second mobile communications network employs a second different radio access technology.

13

13. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the first mobile communications network is a second generation based network and the second mobile communications network is a third generation based network.

14

14. The apparatus in claim 13 , wherein the first and second set of services are different.

15

15. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the adjustment instruction is based on an exchange of load information between a first radio access network node in the first mobile communications network and a second radio access network node in the second mobile communications network.

16

16. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the adjustment instruction is based on load information from a core network node or a central server.

17

17. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the electronic circuitry is further configured to control a rate of change at which the broadcast message is updated.

18

18. The apparatus in claim 9 , wherein the mobile stations are in one of the following states: an idle state, a ready state, a standby state, a CELL_FACH state, a CELL_PCH state, and a URA_PCH state.
